Sponsor the South Pole Solo 2025

In November 2025, Ian Hughes will attempt a 492-nautical-mile solo ski to the Geographic South Pole, as part of the Explorers Grand Slam.
‍
Fewer than 75 people have ever achieved this feat, and Ian is set to become only the 2nd Briton to join that list.

Your sponsorship will:

• Help raise £100,000 for veterans’ mental health.
• Align your brand with one of the toughest challenges on Earth.
• Give you visibility in global media, online updates, and post-expedition events.

As the Platinum Partner, your brand will enjoy the highest visibility throughout the South Pole Solo expedition from the first training updates to global media coverage after Ian’s return. This is a unique opportunity to align with one of the most demanding and prestigious challenges in modern exploration.

Platinum Benefits:

• Prime logo placement on front of jacket, both sides of sled/pulk, and expedition tent.
• Lead sponsor credit in press releases, media interviews (where editorial allows), and select speaking engagements.
• Feature branding in social media, photography, and satellite update imagery during the expedition.
• Prominent recognition on the expedition website homepage and live tracker page.
• Post-expedition presence at talks, corporate presentations, and awards events.
• Exclusive media opportunities in collaboration with Ian’s PR team.
